Penn State will collaborate on a national nanotechnology research effort to create self-powered devices to help people monitor their health and understand how the surrounding environment affects it. The National Science Foundation Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST), to be headquartered on North Carolina State University's Centennial Campus, also includes five affiliated universities and about 30 industry partners in its global research consortium. "The ASSIST program offers an opportunity to utilize core Penn State strengths in materials, nanofabrication, low power circuits and biobehavioral health to advance human health," said Susan Trolier-McKinstry, Penn State professor of materials science and engineering. The Penn State team includes faculty from the Colleges of Engineering, Earth and Mineral Sciences, Education and Health and Human Development.
